John Mayer has transcended to another level. A case in point is the song “You’re Gonna’ Live Forever in Me.”
What a beautiful ballad! It’s provocative and soulful…a song about death and the memories that remain. Take a look at these lyrics:
A great big bang and dinosaurs
Fiery raining meteors
It all ends unfortunatelyBut you’re gonna live forever in me
I’ll guarantee, just wait and seeParts of me were made by you
And planets keep their distance too
The moon’s got a grip on the seaAnd you’re gonna live forever in me
I guarantee, it’s your destinyLife is full of sweet mistakes
And love’s an honest one to make
Time leaves no fruit on the treeBut you’re gonna live forever in me
I guarantee, it’s just meant to beAnd when the pastor asks the pews
For reasons he can’t marry you
I’ll keep my word in my seatBut you’re gonna live forever in me
I’ll guarantee, just wait and see
Mayer’s on another level, standing next to the great songwriters. He’s become an Uber man, carefully crafting his poetic words. Age and wisdom have collided with musical talent.
The critics have long been divided on Mayer. Some people (see women) love his obsession with romantic topics. While others (red pill men) feel that he goes overboard on the topic. For example, there’s never been a straight man that sang “Your Body is a Wonderland” with conviction.
However, the musician needs time. As with any GREAT MAN, wisdom comes with age. You need to experience the vicissitudes of life. You need to see the Grand Canyon of Pain and the Great Wall of Suffering.
John’s officially there…and America needs him right now. We’ve seen too many musicians “check out” recently: i.e. Prince, David Bowie, B.B. King, Don Henley, Tom Petty, etc. So what’s needed is a new poet: a man of the new millennia.
A note to the nostalgic: Remember that the great men of a generation are like ocean waves; they soar and crash…until another wave comes to take their place.
At any rate, here’s a link to the wonderful video…enjoy!

We have vastly different ideas of what it takes to become a uber man
SFC, I will admit that I did not like any of his previous work. So my tip of the hat is based on his most recent album.
LOL he is a performer. Don’t see much in the way of masculine in that line of work.
powerful song.
